Feline limb press models - data

Supporting data for an ex vivo study comparing three feline limb press constructs with different methods of stabilizing the femur (1 - intact hip joint, 2 - fixed femur, 3 - femur constrained to extension/flexion). The simulated quadriceps and gastrocnemius loads were measured with load cells with axial loads of 10% - 40% of body weight.

Data in this file includes:

Raw and bodyweight normalized load cell data for each model

Collated data in long and wide formats

Radiographic angle data for femur and joints in models two and three measured at post-study verification

Foot position data for model two, looking for possible associations between limb position and data variability

Results of load cell calibration compared to manufacturer's specifications.
